Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the panko crumbs and stir to coat them evenly in the butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the crumbs are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. (Watch carefully, as the breadcrumbs can burn quickly.)
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 2 Tbsp salted or unsalted butter
In a large mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese, sour cream, chopped pickles, pickle juice, fresh dill, green onions, Ranch powder, salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and fully combined. (To avoid lumps be sure the cream cheese is softened.)
